Top 5 Most Common Awkward Law School Party-Goers

Law school parties are a lot different than undergrad parties.  And by a lot different, I mean a lot more awkward. After weeks of careful observation, (call it judging if you so desire) I have come to the conclusion that in every law school party, there are typical personalities/people that show up.  I have come up with a list of the Top 5 most common/most awkward law school party-goers.  Let's examine them together.

1. The guy that still thinks he is in college.
Yes, this entertaining fellow is the one still screaming, "KEGSTAND!" and calling the bartender over for Yeagerbombs.  He can frequently be heard bragging about how cool he and his friends were when they got so drunk they [insert stupid thing here], and is often seen double fisting drinks vefore last call.

2. The kid who had never been to a party before law school.
There are some interesting people in law school.  To get in, you have to be pretty smart-- and a lot of times, smart people are weird.  Some smart people are exceptionally weird.  This party-goer is really a virgin to the social scene-- sure, he had friends in the tech labs and in the marching band, but other than that, he really didn't get out much.  Friday nights were spent playing video games with his other (male) friends.  This explains his lack of social skills and inability to consume more than 3 beers without becoming extremely drunk.  It's ok, son.  I too remember my first beer.

3. The girl looking to BOMO.
Elon had a wonderful phrase that I have the pleasure of attributing to my sorority sisters: BOMO.  BOMO stands for "black out, make out."  While completely acceptable by most college standards, there is always that one girl who simply cannot get past this now inappropriate party activity.  She drunkenly prowls the party, looking for victims-- and usually meets up with "that drunk kid" (see below).  They make sweet, sweet BOMO and act like nothing happened the next time they see each other in the library.

4. "That Drunk Kid."
Everyone needs to get a little crazy sometimes.  We've all been "that drunk kid" at least once.  Its the guy who had a bad week, the girl whose cat died and then failed her property homework, the guy who didn't know the answer in Torts, or the girl who stayed in the library until 3 a.m. on Tuesday to finish her reading--any excuse will suffice. For some reason, this person decides that TONIGHT is the NIGHT to get crazy.  They drink anything in sight, and down shots like water.  Beer? It's time to shotgun. Irish Car Bombs? Down in a second.  This person has one goal: get drunk, and forget about life.  They are usually seen stumbling around the party while their responsible room mate/best friend/heterosexual life partner runs after them, making sure the BOMO girl doesn't strike at a moment's notice or College Guy doesn't convince them to do another kegstand.  Usually, the day after said party, "That Drunk Kid" can be found confined to bed until 5 p.m.

5. The kid who wants to talk about law school.
Ok, so I understand needing to vent.  I get that you need to talk about professors and how they are crazy, and that you were so lost in Civ Pro that you started thinking about your old Cabbage Patch Dolls collection.  But what I don't understand is why you want to discuss rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on a SATURDAY NIGHT.  We have ONE DAY off per week.  Why are you trying to spend the few precious hours we have off talking about motions to dismiss?
    This person is usually found on the outskirts of the party, awkwardly standing with a group of people who are trying to plot an escape route. This person also might be the "socially awkward never-been-to-a-party-before" kid who simply does not now HOW to interact with others.  Take pity on them and try to steer the conversation in the right direction.  HOWEVER... if they start talking about the size of their dad's "you-know-what," feel free to run screaming in the opposite direction (This has happened.).

Honorable mentions to this list must be made:
"That Sketchy Guy" who always has mysterious packets of "goodies" to help you study-- and constantly asks if you want some.
"Overachiever Girl" who likes to tell you about all of her accomplishments, including her SAT score
"No Fun Guilt-Trip Kid" who says he is abstaining from drinking "because he has to work on his outline tomorrow"

Any other contenders?
